Sheffield Wednesday-v-Arsenal at Hillsborough in the English Premier League. Two hilarious things to look out for here:
First - the softest referee in the history of football gives Di Canio a red card. Cue Di Canio's push and the most embarrassing fall to the ground any soccer fan has ever witnessed.
Second - As Di Canio marches off in an Italian rage, Arsenal's Nigel Winterburn tries to incite him but suddenly flinches when he thinks Di Canio is going to hit him. Priceless!

Ice hockey is renowned for being an aggressive sport. Many fans go to games for the fights, not the hockey. In a Russian ice hockey match up between
Avangard Omsk Region et Vityaz Chekhov, the teams take this to the extreme:

In case you are not American, the idea behind the half million dollar shot is simple: at half-time during a basketball game, a lucky member of the audience is invited to take one shot from the half court line.

Being from London, most runners who take part in the London Marathon take about 3 hours to complete the 26 mile course. These guys competing in the Tokyo-Hakone relay marathon have been running for over 11 hours!!

According to Yahoo Sport, "With less than 200 metres left in the two-day marathon competed between Japanese universities, Japanese runner Natsuki Terada was in eighth place with four runners contesting the three spots that would secure entry for next year."

How tragic then that the leader of the pack takes a wrong turn right at the finish resulting in an epic fail:

Brazil - This is a clip from a top flight Brazilian football match. The fan is obviously a little annoyed at the referee's decision so decides to try and punch him. Cue Flamengo players intervening and then what appears to be the SAS!

Trevor Chappell (the bowler) helps Australia beat New Zealand in the 1981 World Series Cup. What is unusual is that as a cricket bowler, you are supposed to bowl overam.
Brian McKechnie (the batter) needed to hit a six which would have tied the game for New Zealand. Chappell chooses to bowl underarm so to ensure McKechnie has no just of hitting it out of the ground.

About World Sport Bloopers

World Sport Bloopers was created following the frustration of using video sites. Many offered videos that were filed under 'funny' or 'humor' but were not specific to sport. It required a lot of searching to find what we wanted. Even when you found the video, it was often edited poorly or inserted in a news segment so it had less impact.

World Sport Bloopers is inspired by UK shows like Fantasy Football (hosted by comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner), the eccentric Frenchman Remi Gaillard and US shows like Jackass. We aim to bring you the best bloopers, fails and WTF moments. We hope you enjoy the site!!
